Fromme Wood lounge chair, Alpi
Description
Petite Friture’s Fromme Wood lounge chair boasts simple, streamlined shapes and a slightly curved wooden seat with integrated shock absorbers to maximize a soft and flexible feel. Crafted from matt-lacquered beech plywood, the Alpi version is distinguished by its bold black grain patterns – the colored veneer was originally developed through a collaboration between designer Ettore Sottsass and Italian veneer specialist Alpi, and was first used in the works of the Memphis design group in the 1980s.
Canadian designer and cycling enthusiast Tom Chung came up with the initial idea for the Fromme collection while cycling at Mount Fromme near Vancouver. Inspired by the technical features of his bike, he designed a collection featuring small shock absorbers under the seats and tabletops, as well as lightweight and durable cast aluminum tubes. Designed for indoor use, the Fromme Wood series is made using recyclable materials and UV-resistant coatings that don’t contain harmful VOCs.
